She had told husband Valdevane that she was taking the dog to the park for a walk.

But the 55-year-old was missing for more than three weeks until her body was found at a plant hire company’s depot.

The toilet was hired to builders working on a new basketball court near Brazilian-born Tania’s home in West Green, North London. It was part of a unit with another toilet, a canteen and a generator but was not fenced off.

She left home on October 29 last year. Valdevane told her inquest in Maidstone, Kent: “She just said, ‘I am going to the park, I will see you later’.”

The dog was later found alone.
